Anyone else keep pressing the RIF app out of habit? - eviltoast

…but I don’t want to get rid of it! Been using RIF since 2011 and it’d feel so weird to take it off my home screen. I tried the Reddit app but it pollutes the front page with so much unnecessary shit that it becomes a chore to browse. Liking the look of Lemmy so far though.

      Connect for Lemmy, turn on List View and the AMOLED theme and it gets pretty close to the RiF experience. Not 1 for 1, but close enough for what I’m doing. I also put it in the spot RiF has been for 10 years 😞.

      I’ve been using Jerboa and it’s working out well. I’ve tried the connect for Lemmy app, but once I tried making a long comment and the text went behind my keypad and I couldn’t scroll, so I couldn’t see what I was typing. I’m always on the lookout for more apps and trying them out until I find one I really like. I’m looking forward to seeing Sync for Lemmy up in action.

      I’ve been using Liftoff as it’s the closest to how RIF felt to me. I was able to go in the settings and switch the posts to compact and have the font sizes smaller to get it as close to RIF as possible.

      I don’t really like the apps, but if you want an app, you can add your main instance to homescreen and its essentially an app, just save your lemmy password in your browser and its no different from an app.

      It’s definitely heavily geared towards iOS design principles, but if you can get past that wefwef.app has been the most stable and smooth experience I’ve found, despite being a PWA and not a native app.

      Connect for lemmy has worked better for me than jerboa, but that could also be me (barely) learning how to navigate.

      There’s also the migration hugging everything to death to consider, but hug or no, connect for lemmy has worked quite well for me on Android!
